January 2007
Happy New Year to everyone!

Some of you may have read in the 12/24 Reporter about salary increases for administrators. Yes, those numbers are pretty accurate.

Some administrators received over a 10% raise in the guise of a salary schedule restructuring. Exec Board will discuss this issue on January 9th as well and I’m sure Rep Council will discuss this issue as well on the 23rd. I plan on speaking at the January 18th board meeting also. After Exec Board meets, we may have some other things planned as far as getting our message out to the community. This has angered many of us. But, this shouldn’t diminish the fact that we settled a decent salary increase for this year.

Upcoming Events:

Exec Board 1/9 3:45-5:30
Special Ed Meeting at Vaca Pena 1/11 3:30-4:30
Rep Council 1/23 3:45-5:30
VUSD School Board Meeting 1/18 7:30-???
Special Ed Workshop at CTA office 1/24 4:30-6:30 email OLejnieks@cta.org to attend (this is appropriate for General Ed teachers as well, and should address
some questions members have had about their rights when dealing with advocates and difficult parents)
